When the project’s temporary site office needed to occupy space along Halifax’s downtown bike lane, the team faced a unique challenge: how to maintain safe, uninterrupted access for cyclists while continuing construction activity.
Instead of closing the lane, Skye Halifax introduced an innovative solution by elevating the site office using stacked shipping containers and routing the bike lane safely beneath it. The result is a first-of-its-kind tunnel in Halifax that allows cyclists to travel through the area while work continues above.
This creative approach reflects the project’s broader commitment to thoughtful design, community access, and support for active transportation in the downtown core.
